I went to see the Inventing Abstraction Show.
I wasn't that interested in it. The things I liked were the Marsden Hartley's and a Leger painting juxtaposed. Something new for me to think about. They are both around 1915-19. Hartley was closer to the action than one thinks.
The Malevich paintings with the Brancusi column looks great.
A great Stanton MacDonald Wright painitng from Buffalo Albright Knox.
But no pictures allowed.
That juxtaposed to the Newman and the Tony Smith in the lobby which is very much a Newman-- then the transcendent Mondrian, the de Kooning which can replace Pollock-- One the big Pollock was missing-- a great Kline which has been on display lately, then a great finish with the Warhol and Sol Lewitt echoed the earlier work.

I again have a better time in the permanent collection. I like how an idea develops for me. I started out looking at he black lines looking for a story but it ended up as a story of the what I call Romantic B/W like Pollock is the big example but there is an evolution going on up to Chris Wool.
